Another week down!

We have now finished week 2 of homeschooling, and we are in full swing! By the way, at the top of the blog I will post what the kids memory verse is for the unit that we are in. This week is one of mine and Guy's favorites! Both of the kids learned about Adam and Eve and the fall. We learned that the snake was very crafty! We also studied snakes and learned that God made them with clear eyelids. So they can see straight through them. Pretty cool! Here are some pictures of the snake bracelets that we made.






We also had lots of fun working on our numbers from 1-5. We practiced counting using Teddy Grahams and then ate them as a snack.





One of Makayla's lessons this week was on Cain and Abel. She learned that God sees our heart and that Cain's offering did not please God because he was not giving it with the right heart. This picture is of her etching a heart into layers of crayon.



The funniest story this week was from Caleb when he was running a fever. We were still able to work on letter "B" , and we did a rhyme with lots of animals in it that start with letter "B". The animals included 2 brown beavers that got on Noah's ark. After his fever had broken I asked Caleb if he was feeling better, he got a big grin on his face and said "Yeah! My beaver is gone! Just like on Noah's ark!" He is so funny!

Our First Week in Review!

We have officially completed our first week (or 5 day unit) of homeschool! We are doing 4 days a week so Mommy and the kids have at least one play day per week. The kids are getting into the swing of things and are actually asking for more work. Go figure! Both Makayla and Caleb started at creation, and we are moving on from there. Caleb learned his letter A this week and had a fun rhyme about Adam and lots of animals that start with the letter A. Makayla learned how God created the world and how He separated the land from the water. She can now name all 7 continents! We are also working on our handwriting, phonics, and math. Hope you enjoy to photos! I will post more in about a week.

These photos are of Makayla and Caleb making a collage. We learned that Jesus is at the center of God's plan for history.























This is a picture of Caleb learning his letter A. He and his "ting ray" were tracing the letter and saying the "a" sound. Don't worry. It's just tape!












This one is Caleb learning about Cain and Abel. He learned how God wants us to love each other, not hurt each other when we are angry.

Easter Pictures!

Here are pictures from Easter. The kids had a lot of fun hunting Easter eggs after church at Aunt Helen's house. Hope you enjoy the photos! Sorry they weren't up sooner!

Some pictures!

Just wanted to post some pictures from events over the past few months. The first one is from Guy's surprise 30th birthday party. We had such a good time and Guy had no idea until he arrived!

First Day of School!

Okay, it has been a REALLY long time since I posted and well, there isn't much I can say other than "We have 3 kids!". Guy and I have begun a new adventure today and want to be able to share it with everyone. We have decided after much prayer that we want to homeschool our children. At this point, we have a plan to take it year by year. I am hoping we can post weekly updates and pictures to our blog to keep everyone in touch with what is going on in our busy home.

Love to you all!
